Fwd: [PHP] Using PHP to remove certain number of bytes from file

Maybe one of these days I'll remember to actually reply to the list the first time. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Benjamin Darwin <bddarwin@gmail.com> Date: Dec 30, 2007 2:12 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Using PHP to remove certain number of bytes from file To: Scott Wilcox <sc0tt@x0f.org> Try this: $file_data = file_get_contents('filename', false, null, 230); file_put_contents('filename', $file_data); This should do exactly what you need, although you may want to see if either one returns false (indicating an error) and stop the script.
